Earlier today, The Current announced its Happy Hours schedule for the summer of 2024! The Current is bringing back music and fun to breweries across the Twin Cities — and to greater Minnesota as well. We know the dates and the places; in the coming weeks, we’ll announce The Current's hosts who will provide the soundtracks and the artists who will perform at each event.

Each of The Current Happy Hours is free and open to everyone. These events bring people together in a spirit of conviviality in a shared love of music, community, food, and drink — whatever that beverage might be.

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs about beverages would you like to hear?
